Company A

Private

Thomas Grim, Jr. served with his brothers Armstrong,Frederick and Charles in Company A. Their father was also in the 77th. A number of their Buskirk kinsmen were in the 77th as well as many neighbors and friends. The Grim boys were captured at Marks Mills in Arkansas and spend ten months in Camp Fort Prison where Armstrong died. Their father later died by his own hand in camp at Little Rock after the long, wet march back to saftey. Charles died within weeks of his release from Ford. I've written a narrative account of the family.

Company H

Private

This brave barrelmaker lied about his age to join: he was over 50, and fought beside his own 17-year-old son Elijah Simeon Hall in the battle of Shiloh. He later rejoined the regiment and somehow evaded capture in the disaster at Marks Mills. His memory is beloved unto his children, whom he left a good inheritance.
